Maxillary sinus pathologies in dental implant candidates: CBCT-based prevalence and odontogenic risk factors

This study highlights the high prevalence of sinus pathologies in dental implant candidates and their significant association with odontogenic factors. These findings underscore the importance of thorough preoperative radiographic evaluation to optimize implant planning and reduce complications. Identifying these relationships may enhance clinical decision-making before sinus augmentation procedures. Further research incorporating clinical examinations and patient records is warranted to strengthen these findings.
